There is another movie (1938 black and white) that we watched a couple of
nights ago, (Algiers) which has some of that intrigue of Casablanca which
starred Charles Boyer and Hedy Lamarr - two beauties of cinema.
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0029855/
"Beautiful Gaby meets a romantic jewel thief in the mysterious Casbah." and
"User comments: Almost as classic as Casablanca."
But, I prefer Casablanca.
